Cover Reveal: RESISTANCE (The Variant Series, #2)

One month from today, Resistance (Book two in the Variant series) will be released!! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am to finally put this book out into the world.

To celebrate the start of our countdown, today on the blog we're kicking things off with the official reveal of the cover!

So here it is, guys, the brand new cover for Resistance!





*****

Synopsis:

Alexandra Parker might be the most powerful Variant the world has ever seen—but even that won’t get her out of finishing her junior year of high school.

The challenge of keeping her abilities under wraps during class is daunting enough, but throw one surly, sandy-haired Jumper into the mix, and things can get downright complicated.

Declan’s new job? Watch over Alex while she’s at school and do everything in his power to keep her from losing control. But as sparks of every kind begin flying between Alex and her new bodyguard, she's left feeling more unstable than ever.

When avoiding her abilities results in a surprise visit from her parents’ killer, Alex’s worlds collide with a bang that nearly levels Bay View High.

With her freedom now squarely in the Agency’s crosshairs, Alex will be faced with the fight of her life... and a decision that could forever alter the course of her destiny.

 *****

P.S. For those of you searching this post for the cover design credit... *nervously raises hand* Erm. It was me. I designed both covers in the Variant series myself. I realize this goes completely against the advice I always give about hiring someone to design your covers, but (in my meager defense) graphic design has been a hobby of mine for over ten years now. So I feel at least slightly qualified to do it myself... But still. This is most definitely a case of do as I say, not as I do! As an author, your book will always be better served by giving it the best cover possible—and if that means hiring a graphic designer instead of putting together a design of your own, then that's exactly what you should do. :)

  2. Just finished book 1 about five minutes ago and loved it! Can't wait for book two! Is there any chance you're sending out ARC's? I'd love to review the second one for my website. http://pinkfluffyhearts.blogspot.com/

    1. Hi, Corina! Unfortunately, I won't have time to send out ARC's for book 2 on account of the edits taking a bit longer than I anticipated... What I can do, though, is add you to the list of reviewers for RESISTANCE, and send you a copy of the e-book as soon as it's ready! You'll either receive it the day of release or (with any luck) a few days to a week beforehand. If you're still interested, just shoot me a quick e-mail with your info and preferred file type and I'll add you to the list! (There's an e-mail icon in the upper right column, below my profile link.) I would love to work with you!

  3. Is there a story to the colored eyes that I missed in the first book?

    1. You didn't miss it—the scene that explains the changing colors of Alex's eyes was cut from the first book during the editing process, and then never worked back in. It's something that will finally be explained in RESISTANCE. :)
